FaceOFF is BACK and it snuckup on me like a *&^%$#@ Ninja!

So, I missed the first episode and had to go back and watch it, nothing major, you could easily see who was the talent and who had it rough. Not sorry to say it, but the two who got sent home, while they might've had a little more to show, didn't have anywhere near the talent or applied-exp as many of the other cast members.

Ok, EP 2: The Horses as the Line Up already. :)
@cigneutron Is One To Watch.
@dinnarosecima Is dangerous with her paint. Even without going big, watchout for her.
@GeorgeTroester Could Take It All.
@KeaghlanAshley Another dangerous painter.

Everyone else kinda fell into the middle for one reason or another; not that they were bad, just didn't stand out. Most importantly, they survived by not making the horrifically stupid mistake of making a character named after a CLOCK into a RAT. I DON'T CARE that it was also apart of his nickname; not what the judges asked for. His partner skated by only because it wasn't HER idea, but going along with a bad idea is equally an issue in the long run, cause you can't be trusted to speak up about BAD IDEAS and if they go to far, well...you crap the bed.

Finally, the judges—more than once, about 3 or so characters—said it isn't a good idea to play the idea "right on the nose". A lie: The Shark Gangster wasn't on the nose it was IN YOUR FACE, but it's only saving grace was how good it was. So the lesson is, you can play it Right On The Nose, but you've got to execute it masterfully to get away with it.

GENESIS (All Reviews)

Ok, Now they're all in one place: Amazon, B&N and Goodreads :) Amazon Customer September 29, 2016 5/5 A great read with deep underlying themes. By Author Jon Sprunk A wonderful blend of philosophy, spirituality, and intrigue that covers a clash of cultures and religion. Jak is a hero of the modern age, unsure and yet ready to face the challenges that await him. Amazon Customer September 22, 2016 5/5 GrimDarker ! I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and everything in between. Pacing was great and Wade seemed to have a unique idea told in a new voice. Loved it. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in fantasy, especially you GrimDark fans. Amazon Customer September 9, 2016 5/5 The next Erikson If you loved Erikson you will love this!

Ink Master is BACK!

Yep. It's back! So let's do the rundown since we're already two episodes in. FIRST! They had to earn their shops this time, which was a fun and cool concept. By watching them do Convention Style Tattooing, you got to see a range of their skills. Most everyone did ok, with a few pointers needed here'n'there: Matti Hixson, Scott Marshall and Sausage (yes, that's his name) rounding out the overall best. Then they got into the final tattoos of the day, which was their choice...David Bell did a crushed skull and since he didn't represent it as being such, I think that's why he got picked out for it not being "readable"; but I think it was a cool. Randy Vollink did a water-color ship, which didn't look bad, but wasn't up to par. Keith Diffenderfer did an ugly, ghoulish woman...SORRY, no one wants an ugly chick on their body, I don't care who you are and the judges told him so. Everyone else kinda fell in the middle thereafter a...

My review-ish of The Last Jedi—I cut it into a rant of sorts, because of how much time has passed.

So, it's been long enough. Too long actually that I doubt anyone gives a %$#@ about my opinion. With that in mind, I'll keep it short, more of a rant, given that you've already read dozens if not hundreds of these things. Overall, the quick and easy rating system: 7-8 out of 10* (mostly for some big moments and nostalgia) 6-7 out of 10* (those moments removed) 5-6 out of 10* (when you really dig into the plot as presented) And I kinda bounce somewhere along all three depending upon who I'm talking to about it. So while I'm not conflicted about whether I liked it, I'm conflicted about how good it actually was. As in, which is more important: How a movie makes you feel or How well the story actually unfolds. Going off memory, let's begin with the characters— Poe Dameron In the last movie we learned that Poe was the best of the best of the best of the best..... In the Last Jedi, we learn he's also a dick and the fact he's a dick l...
